"...I just locked every monster's coordinates and used the same technique that I used against the two monarchs who kidnapped Jinah."
Hearing Haru's explanation, Cha Hae-In, Reiji, and Il-Hwan had a slightly perplexed and a little taken aback reaction.
For someone to pinpoint the exact location of those many monsters and obliterate them in an instant; indeed a feat worth noting down in history.
The two older women—Yumiko and Park Kyung-Hye were in the kitchen; preparing a meal to celebrate Haru's recovery.
Kuroi and Riko were also called and naturally, they were beyond elated to hear the news. They were currently on the way to Sugimito's residence.
The news channel has yet to get the whiff of the news that Haru has recovered, that's why the room could be seen so relaxed and devoid of any calls from the association.
"How did you recover, Haru? I mean, was it a conscious recovery?" Reiji asked with a slight frown over his brows.
Every healer and doctor had raised their hands and said that Haru can only recover through some sort of miracle. His condition wasn't worsening with time but it wasn't improving as well. That's why when he suddenly got up from his slumber, Reiji felt there must be something that Haru had done to help himself.
Haru remained silent for a moment, as Jinah glanced at him.
She, naturally, hasn't told anyone about her meeting with the Goddess and that she was aware of Haru's origin. If Haru doesn't want anyone to know about it, then she would take that secret to her grave.
"You can say..my mana depleted beyond the limiter I have set and the technique I used, overloaded my brain. So that's why it took some time for my magic to accumulate and repair my brain."
That was a believable response, but Il-Hwan remained a little suspicious. He had felt Haru's mana before, and truth be told it seemed vast enough to cover the whole planet and swallow it.
However, against his curiosity, he remained silent on the matter and asked something else, "Are you planning to take some days off before revealing your recovery? In my opinion, your father might feel obliged to inform the Hunter Association?"
Il-Hwan backed his words with uncertainty and directed the latter part of the question to the man sitting beside him.
Reiji, who understood Il-Hwan's concern, assured him, "Don't worry about that. Until Haru wants I can hide it from the Association. And Haru should remain indoors until he recovers as well; to avoid media."
The media would be all over him once the words get out. Haru was no longer just a nation's top-class hunter. He was known internationally and has made a name equivalent to someone like Thomas Andre.
And if talking about popularity then Jin-Woo also gained a lot of fame after his battle against Thomas recently after Thomas' guild member abducted Jin-Ho.
In response to his father's suggestion, Haru leaned back in his seat and said,
"Yeah, it would be better to hide it from the public and the Association for a while. However, if it's about not getting seen in public," suddenly, Haru raised his left leg and rested it on the other and everyone in the room gasped, "...I simply can do something like this."
The reason why everyone, and especially Reiji seemed astonished was that the previously eighteen-year-old teenager suddenly changed his appearance to the person he calls, 'Dad'.
Reiji looked at his mirror copy sitting in front with a slackened jaw.
"When did you get this ability?" Cha Hae-In couldn't help herself and asked in a slightly informal tone—only to get embarrassed soon after.
Haru didn't mind her tone and replied, "I just had the potential but never utilized it. And why are you so astounded, Miss Cha? If you wanted you could have asked Sunbae to show you shapeshifting as well."
Every eyes now turned toward Jin-Woo who has turned into none other than Haru and sat in a casual pose.
"Heh?!" Jinah made a long exclamation seeing the familiar face on her Oppa. However, everyone in the room could tell that it was Jin-Woo because his mana was still the same. But it couldn't be said for Haru, who has mirrored Reiji's mana signature as well.
"....it's so accurate that's scary..." Reiji muttered to himself as a sigh seeped through his lips.
Both young men reverted to their original state and shared a knowing look.
Just as Haru thought, this immortal being was far more capable than he was in his mortal shell.
On the other side, Cha Hae-In softly nudged Jin-Woo before whispering, "You never told me you had such a power?"
"Is my face not attractive to you?"
"I-i'ts not..." Cha Hae-In blushed profoundly hearing such a bold question and in front of so many people. (Although she whispered, everyone here was awakened).
Jin-Woo chuckled seeing her reaction and Haru grinned.
Jinah sympathized with her Unni and switched the topic,
"By the way Haru, now that you are well, how about we take the final exams and graduate from High school formally?"
Although, given his reputation, Haru would graduate from the school without taking exams, Jinah still wanted to graduate with Haru and take many pictures wearing a mortarboard.
Haru thought about it for a moment before he nodded, "If that's what you want, then why not?"
Turning his attention towards Reiji he asked, "Dad, would you mind if I spend some weeks in Korea?"
"I don't mind...but what are your plans after that? Well, I would be more than glad if you get enrolled in a University." Reiji didn't want his son to continue his life as a Hunter, but of course, he never had been, nor he would ever be that kind of parent who forces their will on their child.
Haru grinned at that before he said something that shocked everyone in the room and especially, the one sitting beside him,
"After school graduation, the first thing I will do is to marry Jinah~"
